- Ideogrammic compound (會意): 丵 + 木
- Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋab): semantic 丵 + abbreviated phonetic 盍 (OC *ɡaːb)
In the bronze inscriptions, the character sometimes contained two 業 and one 去 (OC *kʰaʔ, *kʰas) (the original form of 盍 (OC *ɡaːb)). These forms may have been phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋab): semantic 業 (“wooden bell frame”) + abbreviated phonetic 盍 (OC *ɡaːb).
